One part Public Enemy, a dash of Bjork, add violin to taste. Odds are no one watching "Flavor of Love" expects Joanna Newsom to pop up as a contestant, but this recipe has resulted in considerable success as the foundation of DBR and the Mission, a nine-piece outfit lead by multi-instrumentalist and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain.

"It's definitely the start of a new era, which is always exciting and scary at the same time."
Corey Warning is talking about the effects of the emerging online music scene. But really, he could just as well be talking about the current status of the band he provides lead vocals and guitar for - The Graduate. After forming just under two years ago, things have gone uphill quickly for the central Illinois band.

Dear Louis,
So about a month ago, I got drunk and made out with my neighbor. Twice. I like him as friends, but I think he actually has a crush on me. How do I maintain a "friendship" but make sure he knows I don't want to date him. And, best case scenario, how do I turn this boy into a make-out buddy, no strings attached?

Oh, Dave Chappelle - how I miss thee, and how I wish ye never existed.
I'll explain: though ethnically risky humor isn't a new comedic frontier, the aforementioned comedian brought the form into the television-glued public eye with his 2003 to 2006 show, cleverly named after himself.

Whoever said theater was stale never saw "Thief Unseen" - or rather, he did and jumbled the facts. There is a fair amount of staleness in the show, but that's thankfully owed to a severed, vomit-covered hand.
"When I first read the script, it really struck me," "Thief Unseen" director Brandon Bruce said. "It kind of hit me on a personal level, even though I don't have an attachment to severed body parts."

It goes without saying in the classical music world that the St. Petersburg Philharmonic is one of the most-respected and sought after orchestras in the world. Formerly the Leningrad Philharmonic, it was a symbol of Soviet pride during the Cold War and was one of few orchestras that could seriously compete with the top American orchestras. (0) comments
There will be a sampling of salmon and string cheese at the Englert Theatre today at 8 p.m. - well, a sampling of the bands Leftover Salmon and the String Cheese Incident. Drew Emmitt (Salmon) and Bill Nershi (Cheese) have teamed up with Chris Pandolfi and Tyler Grant to create a "newgrass" or contemporary bluegrass jam band. (0) comments
